FALCONER, N.Y.: Jamestown Container Companies announced the acquisition of Syracuse Corrugated Box Corp., further expanding the company’s footprint across New York State.

Founded in 1956, Jamestown Container Companies is a family-owned packaging manufacturer specializing in custom corrugated packaging, retail packaging, displays, and packaging supplies. The acquisition of Syracuse Corrugated Box Corp. strengthens Jamestown Container’s ability to serve customers throughout Central New York while continuing to provide responsive service, high-quality products, and innovative packaging solutions.

“This acquisition represents an exciting step forward for our company,” said Joseph R. Palmeri, Chief Operating Officer. “Syracuse Corrugated Box Corp. has a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and customer relationships over many years. We are proud to welcome their customers into the Jamestown Container family.”

Syracuse Corrugated Box Corp. was known for its commitment to craftsmanship and customer service. Jamestown Container plans to build upon that legacy while investing in continued growth, operational efficiency, and expanded capabilities for customers. Customers of Syracuse Corrugated Box Corp. will continue working with familiar contacts through the transition.

“Syracuse Box was started in 1969 by my dad, Richard Wilde and his business partner, Wyman Caruthers. The business was the foundation of our family for many years,” said John Wilde, former part-owner of Syracuse Box. “When we decided to sell, we liked that Jamestown Container was a family business and shared the same principles of respect for employees and customers. It was a natural fit.”

The acquisition also aligns with Jamestown Container’s long-term strategy of strategic growth throughout the region while maintaining the values of a family-owned independent manufacturer.

“Our companies share many of the same core values — dedication to customers, commitment to employees, and pride in delivering quality work,” said Bruce Janowsky, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this partnership creates exciting opportunities for the customers we serve.”
